The 2021 Compass gets LED projector headlamps with LED DRLs too. Along the side, the Compass face-lift gets newly designed alloy wheels as well. Jeep hasn’t changed the rear of the car in this update.
Powering the Compass face-lift will be the same petrol and diesel options that were on sale before. The 1.4-litre turbo petrol Compass develops 160bhp and 250Nm.This engine comes paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT.
